[Verse One] Yesh, yeah, yeah M.I.C., M.I.C Now, now, now, now Momma, I just k**ed a man, shot him to live I know you can't believe the sentence out the mouth of your kid I know you shocked and my explanation, it don't explain it And I can see you cryin and riffin at my arraignment I tried to handle it cool, you taught me the rules Told me look up on the floor and find me somethin to use But things you wouldn't understand momma led to his murder I know you never ever pictured me with d** and a burner Shoulda heard him, he was tellin me 'n***a you gon' die' I could see the devil dancin in the white of his eyes He despised me, shot his heater, then I shot mine I'd never lie to you momma, I committed a crime And I'm alive though seein he tried to stop my survival Forgive me the things around me done turned me to livin trifle My rivals would love to say they left me dead in the dirt But I could never have you goin through the pain and the hurt I just k**ed a man [Hook] Seein it was him or me The look on his face, I tried to erase, and now And momma I just k**ed a man And I took him out of life to d**h With no remorse, I must confess, and now And momma I just k**ed a man Then I left him in a pool of blood With murder one, I'm still your son, and now And momma I just k**ed a man See I'd rather be tried by 12 than held by 6 I choose to live, and now, now [Verse Two] Momma while I'm speakin to you over the phone I got involved with certain things I know you wouldn't condone I only did it cause I knew you was destined for somethin better Than workin them two jobs and fightin to stay together I never intended to k** him, seen it as God's will Only thing gettin me through this is knowin Allah's real I caught him and stepped back, my barrel was still smokin I said to myself he's goin, watched him started convulsin My bullets opened his chest up, now I'm just standin there like Things are messed up, and what could I do? Before he died he said the wolves I'm with are comin for you It's ignorance that had him thinkin there was nothin to lose Now feel me momma, I ain't wanna, I didn't I'd be a goner They want me to turn informer and tell 'em about the corner I'm never breathin a word, hopin you understand Many hats I got to wear, it's bein this man I just k**ed a man [Hook] [Verse Three] I know you thinkin that it's messed up, seein your only child Inside the system facin 25-to-life and it's wild Nothin I can do about it, though I wish that I could You never wanted me to end up like the rest in the hood Now feel me momma I done k**ed but I did it with no intention A minute free of your guidance it got me with no direction I question myself, sayin if I wouldn't have shot him Could I have lived and could we both have just worked through the problem? But seein things are what they are I just, hold my head Stick my chest out and walk to where my soul's been led And what you said, it's just the bed that I made, so I sleep in it Forgive me I'm up to my knees in it And momma I just k**ed a man [Hook]
